10 Things We Learned From Paul Wight On Talk Is Jericho
7. Cesaro’s Situation Irked Him
Cesaro's big Battle Royal win at WrestleMania XXX was almost seven years ago now. That, dear readers, is actually quite scary; the match was supposed to be the Swiss man's launching point, and so was a later union with manager extraordinaire Paul Heyman. Things didn't quite work out as well as WWE might've hoped.
That p*ssed Paul Wight right off.
He was the original winner of 'Mania XXX's André Memorial, but wasn't upset when chiefs told him that he'd be helping make Cesaro instead. Dutifully, Wight was slammed over the top rope, shook hands with his conquerer and looked forward to seeing what the "incredible talent" would go on to achieve afterwards.
Paul was annoyed to find that WWE did exactly “nothing with him”. He told Jericho that the alliance with Heyman was a ruse too - that only existed so that Paul E had something to do before Brock Lesnar returned to screens. In essence, Show's hard work had been a complete waste of effort.
